There’s a dude at Stray Dog in a Racine hoodie, who would ever print a Racine hoodie much less wear it
Every now and then someone asks me “you’re from Racine right?” and I need you to know that is one of the most insulting things you can say to a person
Racine is the Fredo of Southeastern Wisconsin cities we point at them and laugh but it’s almost a feeling of pity

An industry becomes 99% white: grab the rocket launchers, file the lawsuits, make up the imaginary white men who are being discriminated against otherwise we will all die

Opinion | You can’t be diverse if you exclude white men
Those year-end book lists that claim to be all about diversity often seem to miss this one major demographic, Annie Holmquist writes.

No matter what you thought of FIRE before, teaming up with the Manhattan Institute is as red as flags get
a FIRE takedown and Ken is all angry about it? for me? tis the Christmas season!

You know what this dummy (me, the dummy is me) did? Saves all the data into a parquet file, then loops through years, and on each year reinitializes the class which loads the entire file and then filters it to that year

Per "internal documents written between 2023 and 2025 and viewed by The Washington Post... Instagram staffers considered the mandate to boost teen metrics their top goal last year," including "boosting their messaging activity... to set up an early pipeline for lifelong use of Meta’s platforms."
Inside Instagram’s all-out battle to win the nation’s teens
Instagram has pursued a yearslong strategy to win teens back to the app after its critics said the platform wasn’t safe for them, documents obtained by The Post show.

Something I wonder about all of these is how much redundancy there is. So much of the data has to be duplicated across data centers and across companies. I understand the need for proprietary data sometimes, but the amount of duplication across the industry has to be absurd
This is going to be an ecological disaster. No one needs most of this tech. But they do need the water and energy and land. 😞

By virtue of living to be 98 my grandma owned her house outright, and the other day the probate lawyer called to say it sold for enough that I’m going to get a little bit of money. If you know anything about my family you understand how absurd this is

All of mine are hoop related. Playing at the playground in Milwaukee and I was giving this kid the business, one of his friends said "how you getting buckets from a scientist?"
